Signatories commitments Signatories commitments

Signatory cities pledge action to support implementation of the EU 30% greenhouse gas-reduction target by 2030 and the adoption of a joint approach to tackling mitigation and adaptation to climate change. In order to translate their political commitment into practical measures and projects, Covenant signatories commit to submitting, within two years following the date of the local council decision, a Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP) outlining the key actions they plan to undertake. The plan will feature a Baseline Emission Inventory to track mitigation actions and a Climate Risks and Vulnerability Assessment. The adaptation strategy can either be part of the SECAP or developed and mainstreamed in a separate planning document. This bold political commitment marks the beginning of a long-term process with cities committed to reporting every two year on the implementation progress of their plans.

Demonstration projects

The EU Programme 'Covenant of Mayors – Demonstration Projects' (CoM- DeP) was developed to resist to the challenges facing CoM signatories in the Eastern Partnership countries in the context of absence or undue level of their own technical and financial capacity to implement Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs). Moreover, The Support Team was established that is aimed to provide advisory assistance to projects throughout the whole period of their implementation. Г Total amount of EU contribution is 13,7 M EUR (phase 1) и 10,6 M EUR (phase 2), plus 20% as co-financing that has to be ensured by municipalities.
